How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Precedent

If you had rooted your Samsung Galaxy Precedent smartphone just to install the custom ROMs, you might be a bit disappointed as there aren’t many custom ROMs available for the device. Keeping the device rooted without any intention makes no sense, therefore, you should unroot your device, as this should at least help you reclaim the warranty of your device. To unroot your Samsung Galaxy Precedent smartphone, follow the guide below.

6. Navigate to /system/bin/directory using the app and find the file named suand delete it.

a) On some devices, you’ll need to delete the su file from /system/xbin/ directory. Check this directory out on your device and if you find such file, delete it.

7. Next, head to /system/app/ directory and delete the file named Superuser.apk.

8. Close the app on your device.

9. Reboot the device.

10. And you’re unrooted now!

Brilliant! The SU binaries, as well as the Superuser app, have been deleted from your device placing it in the warranty period once again!
